There is no racial distinction in biology. Our brains make up race, based on what we see and assume about people.

This should actually be pretty obvious because what counts as "white" as changed over the decades, as society changes.

to be fair, most classifications in biology are based on human observation of common traits

You're not technically wrong, but you're comparing apples to oranges. Taxonomic etymology is far more scientifically rigorous than "white fur cat species" vs "black fur cat species".
